alas no, that's next month.  This month takes me to the land of
mini tornados (England).  I've been up to my eyes in immigration beurocracy
and travelling, so network connectivity has been sporadic which hasn't
helped the situation.  I get back to the US on Sunday though, so normal
updates should resume next week.

Brief story so far:
- I updated to 2.6.19 and pushed something out to rawhide.
- I started rebasing to 2.6.19-git (the road to 2.6.20), and met
  a gazillion build problems.
- Then it turned out the build I pushed out was a stinker.
- I've been battling build failures the last day or two trying
  to get *something* out there and failing miserably.

I 'withdrew' the 2.6.19 kernel from rawhide yesterday, so people
doing just a 'yum update' shouldn't get it anymore with any luck.

I'll keep fighting it to try and get something out soon, but it
may have to wait until I get back.
